IrishUSA, I've been lurking for sometime now...but I couldn't resist
suggesting a name.
How about "Purish"?
To search packages related to guile, open a terminal and type this:
apt-cache search guile
You will see a list of packages matching your search. To get information
about one specific package, for example 'guile-2.0', run
apt-cache policy guile-2.0
And you will get the version available and the
You could search in synaptic or make a 'apt-get list ' search in the terminal
how to see the package versions?? i want know the gnu guile version would
have, sorry i'm beginner user
I didn't even put quotes around what I said, to indicate that it is an exact
command/quote and not just my paraphrasing.
If the message you got is that "add-apt-repo" is not found, then you didn't
type the proper command. I suggest you humor Magic Banana for a second and
type the command correctly.
It doesn't matter. I always tab-complete after typing commands, so I would
have found that.
I'm not clear on whom the above post targets with the label "astroturfer",
but if it's me, I'm not one.
I have just come back to Trisquel these days thru this late alpha, but still
unable to install GRUB EFI during live installer.
Within GPT you are granted multiboot but ESP must be present, Parabola and
Devuan are also recommended to us under this multiboot.
OMG. If thaat copy of MINIX were GPLv3... Eeee! \^o^/
I can't add the repo for the emoji picker. add-apt-repo not found.
(If Trisquel 8 could have an emoji input method by default, that would be
great.)
Is the ThreadX OS hidden behind Intel ME also hidden behind your BIOS since
mid 2006 in EVERY Intel-based hw systems?
My Trisquel, Hyperbola, LibertyBSD live CD are boot from boot menu, where
other live CD like Parabola, Uruk, Devuan, gNewSenseare and every local
systems are boot thru
It would be nice to have a stable and polished ISO instead of having to rely
on "daily" ISO builds or netinstall to install this OS in its alpha state.
Btw, if you want to know how much time has passed, Ubuntu 17.10 will be
released tomorrow, October 19th.
gd_scania, have you been able to talk to Ruben or at least connect with the
development team for Flidas yet? There is a lot of work to be done and you
are obviously young, intelligent, and eager to help.

This is a perfectly legitimate position. We are all hoping to have a complete
free System. Will it ever happen? This is not a technical issue so maybe no
it will not.
This is why we are all here :)
I am unsure is there an ME in my hardware system, this system is modelled
NP-350U2A-A03 and i dnt see the word Management Engine from my BIOS.
It is a good thing ME can be deactivated on more recent hardware and that
knowledge is out there. At the same time this is a free software forum. I am
not going to promote non-free software here like Coreboot. Most people found
out about Coreboot without me or this forum, the same will
I think that it should be advertised more the fact that intel ME can be
removed also on recent hardware. Speaking of Blobs, the storage as well has
its own firmware and so on. And this is still there even in the librebooted
laptops. Many people install the most recent ssd on those laptop and
I'm not really liking the vibe of that conversation. It seems to be asserting
that a "minimized" ME plus Coreboot is the same or really close to Libreboot
as if the ME is the only issue. This is clearly not true since Coreboot
itself is not libre software and has its own blobs. Libreboot is

When I was on Trisquel for 0.5 years I was disappointed to its aging
packages, so have started using Parabola which is rolling, but fortunately
our Trisquel forum is still active and I have occasionally found our Flidas
alpha these days, which Trisquel is still active and alive. If possible
To t3g,
If you are impatient anymore you should want Flidas alpha first, but you
must accept ‘‘that’’ fate, I am also backing to Trisquel thru Flidas
alpha.

Of course I WONT quit our Parabola anymore, but also I am backing to Trisquel
tonight.
Ah ok, but I completely uninstalled it.
Trisquel is not a rolling release distro, niether is the distro it is based
on. If you want cutting edge use Parabola, it doesn't mean there is something
wrong with Trisquel.
PS on here a nice discussion:

I just installed Trisquel 7 on my 7 year old Aspire One, after putting in a
new SSD drive (almost doubled the drive space). Currently running the
updates. There are so many! My question too, was "Trisquel 8 where are you?".
When I moved to my other laptop to report this, and read these last
I think we are all involved. I already posted that we can test the trisquel 8
release and provide feedbacks and bug reports. I had a small bug that I
reported but following updates solved it and I closed it. I am using the 8 as
my main distro on my main home computer. It is stable. For
There is nothing wrong with an LTS release like Ubuntu 16.04 as there are
point release ISOs that bring in newer kernel and xservee installed by
default.
Oh and there's Snap packages.
I was just going to add, why is he asking where are you... this isn't freakin
scooby doo. ;) xD
If you require frequent software updates then don't use Trisquel or any other
LTS distro. For my purposes I find that I do benefit from having the newest
software, so I've switched to Parabola. However, I still support Trisquel and
highly recommend it for the majority of desktop users who

Have you managed to deactivate the screen reader? If so, how?
I think that for non technical people the companies you mentioned do a good
job. But we should also look forward to the next steps. I am wondering if the
same companies invest to make research on how to free the modern laptop
As I've said elsewhere, my beef with Purism is mostly their name. They're
not purists. It's arguably legitimate to offer maximum freedom currently
possible on current hardware, while striving to get to full freedom including
the BIOS and bootloader. But to not merely imply but to claim
The link you attached is 2015 and the information not completely true. They

would not do. I saw their hardware listed on the coreboot repo.

Hey Magic,
If you look at the dates of some of the posts, I do have a reason to be
worried. That first link was dated "Sun, 10/02/2016 - 13:10"
How am I wrong to STILL be worried after this is still in Alpha?
He's been here even longer than I have; there are similar threads for
Trisquel 7 and Trisquel 6, at least.
Yep the ME deactivation comes from the project of Nicola Corna
https://github.com/corna/me_cleaner
I used it as well in the latest version to deactivate the ME and remove
almost all the partitions in the ME region in my laptop.
Regarding the Purism, I actually found citation in their blog
I am using the 8 downloaded from the jenkis repo since a while. I didn't have
any problem so far. I daily receive new updates. I am running it in a pretty

The issue with Purism is several fold. The first issue is that Purism
conflates the terms Open Source with Free Software when they are clearly
different. The second issue is that Purism upsells its products as if they
are going to be free as in free software on day one or shortly there after
I think tg3 has a valid point with this, as well as all of his other posts
on this topic. If we're lucky, Trisquel 8 will be released at the same time
as Ubuntu 18.04, which makes its packages outdated by two years. I know that
Trisquel 7 still gets security updates, etc., but I have not

Hi,
Is that an official download link? What is jenkins and what is the reason
it's not just on the download page.
Sorry, I'm not so familiar with Trisquel. But I'm looking to use this as my
main distro.

I was looking at the Purism laptops today and they come with PureOS as the
operating system. It would have been nice to have Trisquel as an option, but
version 8 is STILL nowhere to be found.
Anyone remember when Ruben would release Trisquel at a decent rate? The most
recent version (7) is
